US-China Bitcoin Race Heats Up as US Government Plans to Expand Strategic Reserve
Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, has revealed insights suggesting that the U.S. government is likely to augment its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings to surpass China. According to Mow, the motivation stems from strategic interests and the competitive stance against China, which currently may hold a larger Bitcoin cache. Mow highlighted that the U.S.'s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) consists primarily of seized assets, leading to a reassessment of its actual inventory. The revelation of U.S. holdings being potentially less than previously estimated, at around 112,000 BTC, positions China ahead with an estimated 194,000 BTC.
In response, the U.S. government is contemplating a full audit and subsequent increase of its BTC reserves to ensure it does not fall behind China, acknowledging Bitcoin as a critical strategic asset. This proactive shift aims to maintain the U.S.'s leading role in global financial dynamics and reflects the escalating importance of cryptocurrency as a tool in national security frameworks. This evolving strategy underscores the broader implications of cryptocurrency adoption among nation-states and sets the stage for more aggressive acquisition strategies by governments globally.
